What I Love About My Classmates

One of the most admirable traits about my classmates is their willingness to help. There has never been an instance where I have asked for help and been rejected. Instead, they have provided support and encouragement, sitting down with me to simplify certain terms or concepts.

Why I Chose MMS

I wanted to continue my education, and I knew the MMS program would provide the fundamentals I needed to elevate my business skillset. I visited the Duke Kunshan University campus while interning in China during my gap year abroad, and I could picture myself studying and living on campus. Now that I am on campus as a student, I feel blessed to be surrounded by such talented and motivated people!

Before MMS

I interned at an international school in their marketing and admissions department, where I enjoyed observing customer behavior and working with clients. This made me realize I needed a strong understanding of business fundamentals to launch a successful career in marketing.

After MMS

I would like to begin my career with a tech start-up because I enjoy being part of something new and exciting. I hope to one day become a product manager and supervise projects from beginning to end. I would love to add value for customers who use the product and are satisfied with the results.
